Rose looks good so far.

Rose looks good so far.

My bad, I made a mistake.

Rose looks VERY good so far.

Rose looks good so far.

Rose looks VERY good so far.

Looks explosive.

I'd hate to be a Bulls fan right now.  Must be holding their breath every time he attacks the hoop.

[Chief]

Boogie has to make the team.

[Eddie20]

Rose looks exceptional. Athletically he looks as explosive and quick as ever.

[Chief]

Talent on the floor just took a hit.

[KCattheStripe]

Drummond over Boogie.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Hayward looks quite big. Will have to see how that extra weight will affect his game, particularly on the defensive end against SFs (and offensively against SGs). With this new frame he might make me eat crow on his worth as a player.

[As a tangent, I want to see how Bradley is looking who seemed focused on getting bigger as well.]

Mason Plumlee? At least Coach K is not being biased giving favor to his old college players...ggood jk. Cousins should make the team over him or am I crazy.

I heard that Sullinger has also been focusing on getting bigger.

Not crazy.

[Who]

Anthony Davis is going to be a fantastic center for Team USA.
